This is no longer true over a field of characteristic-7:: 0, as is shown by the example of the full linear group over an infinite algebraic extension of a finite field. However, Theorem 2 shows that this example is in some sense universal. rrHEOREkI 2. Let V be a vector space ozler aJTeld k of characteristic d# erent from 0 and let G be a subgroup of GL (V). Then, the following three properties are equivalent.(i) H contains no non-abelian free group.(ii) G has a solvable normal subgroup R such that G,‘R is locally. fnite (ie, every jinite subset generates a $ nite subgroup).(iii) G possesses a subgroup G’of finite index such that if V’denotes any composition factor of the k [G’]-module V and k’the endomorphism ring of V’(ie, the centralizer of G’in End, L V’), then k’is a jield and V’has a k’-basis with respect to which the matrices representing the elements of G’are scalar multiples (by elements of k’) fo matrices whose entries are algebraic over the prime field of k.
